Quick and Easy Kitchen Backsplash Updates

Behind the stove

We spend a lot of time standing at the stove, so why not make the view a pleasant one? Because it is such a small area, it won't take much money or time to up the pretty factor. Using even the most expensive materials won't break the bank. And the size means decorating is probably a do-it-yourself project. Here, a tile mosaic reflects the homeowner's love of fishing. Use this backsplash space to reflect your personality!

Whichever look you chose, make sure the materials are fireproof and splatterproof!

Paint

A coat of an accent color, a stencil pattern, or even a small mural adds drama. Try blackboard paint so you can post inspirational messages, menus or to-do lists. Sheets of glass protect this bold paint job.
